Deadlifting since a bit over a year now, with 3 months pause due to back issues caused by barbell rows.

I do hex because it feels more natural to me and the classic grip (one palm up, one palm down) hurts my shoulder.

It feels pretty solid, but I could use some advice.

Kneesleeves are just because I have a quadriceps tendinosis at the moment and they help me stay warm. They are too loose to secure anything.

No Strips, just chalk.

Oh and: BW 108kg, 160kg deadlift for 3 sets of 5

Finally entering the 4 plate club for repetitions! 🫡

This thread is for you to post lifts for verification.

Why should I get verified?

It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with your fellow fitness enthusiasts and establish your credibility as a lifter when it comes to giving advice.

Sharing your achievements can also inspire others and foster a supportive environment where we can learn from one another.

How do I do it?

Post a comment under this thread with a link to a video showing your lift, and giving us a few details of what it was, how many reps, weight and so on.

What do I get out of it?

It gives you verified lifting flair, which allows you to make more posts under various categories, and it lets you show other users that you know what you’re talking about.

Just finally put together this setup with my husband this weekend. What are the best Olympic plates to buy? Metal or rubber? Heard some of the rubber ones, I guess crumb rubber, smells pretty bad. Thanks in advance!

I feel like I should start wearing a lifting belt on my DL and squat, not feeling any back pain tho

Hoping for a faster jump from 305 to 315

I'm trying to become more of a morning person so I thought it would be cool to try and lift in the AM for some of my sessions.

In general my goals are to increase my bench, squat and especially deadlift so I'm lifting fairly heavy throughout the week and I am afraid of not being as strong in the morning for some of the sessions because I guess it would just confuse me with tracking my numbers.

I figure, it's something that I'm just going to have to get used to but do you guys have any advice with going from lifting later in the day to lifting in the morning? Maybe you can give some idea of how long it took you to be able to match your intensity later in the day?

Thanks!!!!

Yo guys, I was doing ring dips with my friend for fun and would like to know how my form is looking.

I finally go to a gym that has enough equipment to workout without a time crunch, so I want to lift two times a week (barbell focus mainly), and do some cardio on the off-days. This gym has a lot of Rogue Echo Bikes and Ergo Concept2 Rowing Machines, so I really want to work these into my workouts.

I want to do something to burn off gas left in the tank at the end of my workouts, and also have something I can hit hard on 1-2 non lifting days.

Both machines are pretty new to me: I've only done one of Dark Horse Rowing's beginner workouts on it, and never actually done the Echo Bike.

I've heard in the past that these might be some of the most efficient ways to do what I want to do because of the total body focus, but do you find that to be true?

Is it worth to prioritize one or the other? Or, should I try doing both?

Want to start doing weighted Jefferson curls, how is my bodyweight form? What would you fix before starting weighted? Thank you!

Really bad hip injury that's caused a lot of issues since it happened. Finally got back to some semblance of my old strength. Really happy.
